What are some common type casting errors in programming?

What are some common type casting errors in programming?

Common type casting errors include trying to convert a string to an integer when the string is not a valid number, or casting an object to a different type that it doesn't inherit from.

Can you give me an example of a string to integer conversion error?

Sure! If you try to convert the string 'abc' to an integer using int('abc'), it will raise a ValueError because 'abc' is not a valid number.

What about casting between different object types?

If you have a class Animal and try to cast an instance of Dog to Car, it will fail because Dog and Car are unrelated types.

How can I avoid these type casting errors?

You can avoid these errors by validating data types before casting, using try-except blocks, and leveraging type hints in your code.
